In celebration of the impending conviction of cult leader Tony Alamo on child-sex charges, I thought we'd host a little contest. I have no idea what the winner will get yet. Maybe I'll think of something eventually, and I'm open to suggestions. "Your own child bride" is not an option, no.

I'm inspired by the remarkable writings of one of Tony Alamo's followers, allexus8, who has turned up in the comments of the previous Alamo post to harangue us all in a manner that can only be compared to avant-garde, stream of consciousness (or semi-consciousness) free verse. Truly, it's got to be read to be believed. Check the following exerpt, and see if you don't agree that a unique and very special poetic voice is in our midst. Behold:

THE SECOND DEATH YOU LYING DOGS PIGS YOU CAN OINK OINK OINK ALL DAY ABOUT SOMETHING YOU DO NOT KNOW ABOUT, OH YES TONY IS GOING UP TO THE BEAUTIFUL PLACE GOD GOT FOR THOSE THAT LOVE HIM. IN THE GOLDEN CITY WHERE GOD IS THE LIGHT.ALL THE LIES YOU TELLING ON TONY ALAMO IS ALL LIES TO SET HIM UP BECAUSE HE EXPOSE YOUR STINK ALL LYING MONSTROUS CULT YOU GONE STAY ATHEIST DEVIL YOU ALL ARE CHILD

Is that great, or is that, as Tony the Tiger might say, grrrrreat? Seriously, it's like  oh, I dunno  e.e. cummings and Bukowski had a child or something, except they made damn sure it was born with fetal alcohol syndrome. I bet allexus8 simply kills at open-mic slams.

My challenge to you, dear AXP readers, is to see if you can match allexus8's literary gifts! Can you convey such emotion, such pathos, such an electrifying summation of the ennui of existence and the precarious, existential angst inherent in the human condition? Can you even come close to sounding so totally Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs? I know you're a gifted bunch out there. Bring it! We'll all work out whose entry we like the best later on.

(Yes, allexus8 can enter, too.)

For the record, if allexus8 is a Poe, he/she/it is the best one I've encountered so far. And if allexus8 is a genuine wackaloon, he/she/it is the best one I've encountered so far.

I cannot, even in jest, bring myself to write in the defense of the odious Tony Alamo. So please enjoy the following generic POE'd flame:

YOU GODLESS BOAR WOLVES DARE DENY THE AWESOME MIGHTY POWER OF ODIN, KING OF GODS?!?!111 YOU COWARDLY FIEND OF LOKI CHOP CHOP CHOP AT THE ROOTS OF YGGDRASIL BUT NEVER BE TAKEN OF THE VALKYRIES TO VALHALLA AND FEAST ON THE ODIN BANQUET. YOU SUFFER FOREVER IN THE PITS OF NIFLHEL ONLY AFTER YOU HAVE FESTERED IN THE BOWEL OF NIGHOGG AND BEEN RIPPED BY THE TEETH OF JORMUNGANDR!

nullifidian: Damn, is my Lit Degree showing? I'll have to work on that.

I had not encountered Julie Birchill before reading your post, so I'm kind of playing catch-up on the humor of it. She seems to me like a smarter, British, communist version of Sarah Palin - if that makes any sense.

Also, maybe the contest should run for more than four hours before declaring a winner? hmmm?

Because they had three of them, and when light shone down on the city you could see that everything is being directed all by the hands of an unseen force and the people are all going along with it. David Arquette made the trip by himself, although the whole Arquette family which follows back through to the tribe of jacob were helping him, but mostly its David Arquette who wanted it.Ive faxed the senators and the doctors to give them the proof and they stop my findings and the cures because they are slaves to the devil and David Arquette who makes all the crack in the world to spread to the children through the water and want to take all the harpo jarvies in the world that could stop him.Kansas is going to blow up, and the children are being used for sex by the white men who are spending millions from David Arquette because he has the burning and is spreading it to them. Im not trying to scare your children but they are using the yearbooks from scholastic photography, they are sick and are going to tether them to their ways and use the god of abraham to tether them to this space so they cant escape.

He's definitely got the non-sequitors and the global conspiracy elements down cold. Remember how lexy8 (as I've decided to refer to the poster) claimed that the "media" was all banded together to destroy some backwoods preacher for no apparent reason?

I'm not sure if he really captured the anger of lexy8 though - it reads more like someone patiently explaining their wacky position.

Ya, I haven't QUITE gotten the hang of RANDOM "CAPS" or scare quotes!!I blame the liberal JEW RUN MEDIA! for forcing me to go to a public government school and learning some of that "grammar" that the illuminati use to unify the languages of earth that were rent ASUNDER at the tower OF babel to try and ..... something....REPTOIDS!!!!111oneoneone...ran out of think juice.

Oh, and before you think I have any amount of creativity, or even one brain cell to rub against another, my post was mostly stolen from the actual ravings of a woman who is, I believe the technical term is, pants crapping insane.http://buttfudgesundae.com/22839.php (page features actual voicemails left at an unnamed political organization, and links to navigate her answer to the timecube website)

I think I'll actually have to drink to get to the state where I can abandon all internal continuity like I've seen with some theist apologist ranters. If I wind up dead like Edgar Allen Poe in an Alley it's on your hands. damn mexician pig leizard fucks. just the thought of it makes me feel for my life! I could wind up dead on a wall plastered there by thumb tacks like the lion in the bedroom! logic is necessary for thougth damn it! when will you stop and realize your actions have conseqsuences. you reach a wide audience and influence them with your thouths and radio waves \. your memetics spread like ebola in a stream of monkey diahrea. people need to thinhk clearly or else they don't and go insane. the ma are not happy they can't swtich the reason back on like a light. trying to think like a non=person is a slippery slope down the ribbit hole of doom trying to be insane will makey ou insane you can't go back once you're there. it's a bed post you can't unlatch the gel stimgma will cling to your SOUL forever. encouraging people to do just this is disgraceful, you are spereading madness and poor mental health. you're just as bad as those religions you criticize~!~!~!~!!!!!!11!1!11 Cept you do it in jo,ke. WEll laugh up. Thousands will die now lining the street hand in hand like paper cut out dools....only they'll be made of bloody meant AND REAL. So many bodies lining the gutters so many jumped off the buildings so many in the padded Nerf foam rooms and shooting up the gas stations. Can you sleep at night? You're a sone mane crime spree. Their deaths and minds are on y our hands. SHAME ON YOU. Shame on the minds you destroy and hearts you break and blood you spill. I hope you get hit by an ice cream truck!

WHORE OF BABYLON YOU'RE BLASPHEMIES AGAINST TONI ALAMO WILL NOT STAND YOU SYCHOPATHK PERVERTS GOD HAS BLINDED YOU'RE HEART TO CONDEMN YOU TO THE ETERNAL!!! PAINFUL!!!!!!

OF OUR ENFORCED INTERBREEDING WITH PIGS THE GOVERNMENTS LARGEST PROJECT IS THE PRESERVATION OF PIG SEED FOR INJECTION INTO THE UNWILLING PUBLIC AND CURTAILMENT OF CIVIL LIBERTIES WITH YOU'RE HELP!!

I remember a spoof website condemning Dungeons & Dragons as Satanist (among other things) which used the same kind of crazy, pointless abuses. That was pretty hilarious, but at least it was a parody. Still, some fundies sent them thanks for spreading the word.

I, as a half loon myself, shall accept your challenge. I submit, for your viewing pleasure, excerpts from a rambling train wreck of thought I put down on paper last night at three in the morning:

These are (Oh shit I almost fucked up the whole thing)

THESE ARE THE RAMBLING LUNACIES OF ONE WHO AS HAD ABOOUT ALL HE CAN TAKE!!! I HAVE BEGUN TO SEE THE LITTLE BLACK MICE AT THE CORNERS OF MY VISION! I LAUGH AT THE IRONY OF IT! OF WHAT? I CAN'T REMEMBER. THE MACHINE SITS WAITING FOR ME! IT GOES AND I START WRITING AGAIN!!! SHOULD SHE KNOW HOW I WAKE DURING THE DAY TO THE CREAK OF A STAIR OR A DOG BARKING?!?!

No venom directed outwardly which is a requirement I suppose but still, a good honest try, I think.

FILTHY WORM BABYIES YOU BOW BEFORE THE EIGHTEEN BOWEL MOVEMENT, OH MY THE GNOMES.WHERE ARE THE FRETOS, MY GODEN SAMOANS IN TEHRE LITTLE BLU DRESSES.WHERE WIL YOU JUMPWHEN THERE ARE NO FORKS TO SAVE YOU NOW.

I see that Alexxus had posted on another news story about Tony Alamo's trial.

JESUS CHRIST WILL COVER TONY ALAMO WITH HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD. WE WILL KNOW THE TRUTH AND THE TRUTH WILL SET US FREE!!!!

I think "STAY ATHEIST DEVIL YOU ALL ARE CHILD" is meme material. It's the ultimate put-down, to be used when appropriate and when not, without consideration.I am 12 and what is thisAll your base are belong to us

The phrase "All your base are belong to us" comes from the relatively early days of home video games. They were mostly made in Japan originally and, if they contained dialogue text, required translation when imported to the United States. Since many were fairly low- budget at that time the translations were sometimes pretty literal with some hilarious results, such as the one above.
